<p>I just found a very old pattern for a candle and it called for &quot;Wheel Beads&quot;. However, in the picture they are actually (now called) &quot;Star Beads&quot;. I have never seen the Star/wheel bead in anything but plastic beads.</p>
<p>OHHH! I didn&#39;t know #8/0 were seed beads.?? I thought seed bead refferred to #11/0 beads? </p>
<p>Oh! ya! the more I learn, the less I know.<img src="http://www.beadingdaily.com/emoticons/emotion-41.gif" alt="Ick!" />&nbsp; ( like that ole saying,&quot;if your green you grow, If your ripe you just go to seed&quot;. ) I love beading there is so much to learn.&nbsp; Its like waking up in a new world everyday<img src="http://www.beadingdaily.com/emoticons/emotion-1.gif" alt="Smile" /></p><div style="clear:both;"></div>Re: Simply Pretty Beading??

<p>Yeah!&nbsp; I have a BD friend&nbsp;!!&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I&#39;m anxious for you to receive the book.&nbsp; You&#39;ll probably do better with just looking at the pictures than I do by trying to follow the instructions! <img src="http://www.beadingdaily.com/emoticons/emotion-5.gif" alt="Wink" /></p>
<p>I&#39;m ordering rondelles today b/c I&#39;ve decided that&#39;s what the author means by &quot;wheel beads&quot; (see ring on pg. 47).&nbsp;&nbsp;Another example, I ran across a&nbsp;peyote pattern from a European company and they called the stop bead a &quot;keeper bead&quot;.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;So maybe it&#39;s a language issue that gets lost in translation ??&nbsp; Who knows??</p>
<p>I&#39;m also thinking the seed beads HAVE&nbsp;to be 8/0 because I don&#39;t think I can get Supplemax through 11/0&#39;s multiple times...</p>

<p>You&#39;re right - it was those pictures that pushed me to purchase it as well.&nbsp; I hope if you do get it that you have more luck than I&#39;ve had so far.&nbsp;&nbsp; I&#39;m still struggling with the bead sizes and instructions.&nbsp; But I&quot;m stubborn and determined to figure it out (GOOD beader qualities to have) --&nbsp;it may just take me a little longer than I had hoped when I was standing in line at the bookstore.&nbsp; AND I&#39;ve learned a very important beading lesson......Do NOT get distracted by the pretty pictures without first reading ALL of the instructions!&nbsp; <img src="http://www.beadingdaily.com/emoticons/emotion-5.gif" alt="Wink" /></p><div style="clear:both;"></div>Re: Simply Pretty Beading??

<p>I looked up the book, on eBay. Wow! Has some beautiful things on the cover. Now I have to order it. It looks like a good one to have for variety.</p>
<p>(sorry) not much help on your questions tho.=(</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>Re: Simply Pretty Beading??

The French title is &quot;Bijoux de Perles pour nous les filles&quot;.</p>
<p>From what I can tell she&#39;s measuring the beads in millimeters instead of the sizes we use for seed beads, so you might have to measure some seedies to figure out what size you need.&nbsp; I&#39;m thinking they look like size 11&#39;s but I could be wrong.&nbsp; The excerpt I looked at didn&#39;t have the other beads you mentioned so can&#39;t help you on those I&#39;m afraid.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>Simply Pretty Beading??

<p>She refers just to &quot;seed beads&quot; with no specification about size (so I&#39;m guessing 8/0 - although some of the pictures look like maybe 6/0) and also uses &quot;wheel beads&quot; - which I&#39;ve never heard of, but to me look like rondelles??</p>
<p>I think I&#39;m in for alot of trial and error beading with this one -- which isn&#39;t good for me b/c I&#39;m much more of an instant gratification gal!!&nbsp; HA&nbsp; <img src="http://www.beadingdaily.com/emoticons/emotion-2.gif" alt="Big Smile" /></p>
